GGB UK Retail

We are now feeding over 1000 people per month many struggling to buy food. This in turn stops many from shop lifting and helps those who desperately need help. We operate on a referral basis from various agencies including the Council, Police, Homestart, Housing Associations, Job Centre, local churches and local Community Groups. Our clients are usually homeless, jobless, elderly, infirm, low income workers and those in temporary financial difficulties. We supply our clients with a good variety of food which also includes frozen and fresh food. We have now moved to B6 7QA about 5 mins away.

Through providing emergency food to local people in crisis, we aim to provide a breathing space to help them deal with our clients' underlying issues. We provide food but equally important to us is the provision of support and care for our clients' situations. This may range from making appointments for our Money Advice Worker with help for debt and money management, job search and benefits queries; to referrals to our Domestic Abuse Support Worker, our Carer Support Project and Resource Centre for Asylum Seekers and refugees. Every item of food has been donated by the local community and we are supported by a small army of volunteers. We also provide bread, pastries and some fresh fruit and vegetables when available in addition to toiletries, household products and pet food.

Started during the Covid pandemic, our Foodbank provides food to people in the local community who find themselves in crisis. We try to offer basic foodstuffs and toiletries to help families and single or homeless people. We are open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 10.00am and 1.00pm.mornings
